I think an elbow length would be beautiful with that. Your veil does not have to cover your face. You can wear it more like a mantilla and not have it covering your face but just come down the back. I had an elbow length veil and I did not have it cover my face. I wore it attached to a pretty hair piece and it just flowed down my back - it gave me the tradition of wearing a veil but without having anything impede my face.

I personally love the vintage simplicity of the birdcage veils, but they are very trendy right now. So I went with a classic fingertip length veil for our ceremony this past Spring.

I like the middle picture for the visual of the different lengths, but I would define birdcage veil more like THIS:

Nothing to flip for the kiss since the lips are exposed.

This is me. I just had the longer veil in the back, with nothing over my face at all.

I don't really care for the shoulder length. I feel it should be intentionally shorter, like a blusher, or intentionally longer, at least elbow. And I don't really care for the veils that cover the face and need to be moved either. You don't moved them until just before the kiss, right? So the whole ceremony full of heartfelt promises, you're going to be looking through it to make eye contact.

“He’s not perfect. You aren’t either, and the two of you will never be perfect. But if he can make you laugh at least once, causes you to think twice, and if he admits to being human and making mistakes, hold onto him and give him the most you can. He isn’t going to quote poetry, he’s not thinking about you every moment, but he will give you a part of him that he knows you could break. Don’t hurt him, don’t change him, and don’t expect for more than he can give. Don’t analyze. Smile when he makes you happy, yell when he makes you mad, and miss him when he’s not there. Love hard when there is love to be had. Because perfect guys don’t exist, but there’s always one guy that is perfect for you.” ~Bob Marley
